The following reclassifications have been made in the above presentation to the
quarterly results previously reported:

1.   The cumulative impact of changing the method of determining the
     market-related value of pension plan assets has been reclassified from a
     special charge in the second quarter of 1999 to a cumulative effect of
     accounting change in the first quarter of 1999.
2.   Royalty income, which was previously excluded from operating income in
     1999, has been reclassified to be included in operating income. Royalty
     income for the first three quarters of 2000 had already been reflected in
     selling, general and administrative expenses in the related quarterly
     financial statements.
3.   Amortization of goodwill, which was previously excluded from operating
     income in 2000 and 1999, has been reclassified to be included in operating
     income.




The amounts related to the above items by quarter and for the full year are as
follows:
